Posted June 21, 200916 yr Hi, I would like to ask you if you want to have the bonus round (every fifth round) in my game in the future too, or do you want to change it. Firstly I'm asking you if you want to predict the whole top 20 every fifth round, or is it too much? If you have some ideas, you would like to see or change fell free to post it here. They are welcome! :cheer: Thanks for voting!
June 21, 200916 yr It is a pain to predict but that's the fun in it in my opinion - maybe something new could be done to spice it up though?
June 21, 200916 yr No ben its too much..I was in top 5 in the beginning of the year now because of the bonus round Im only 11 I guess....!! so change it XD
June 21, 200916 yr Don’t you reset the leader board soon now we're half way through the year? Perhaps keep the top20 bonus rounds for the first half of the year and do something else in the fall to mix it up?
June 21, 200916 yr I would like to have the bonus round in another form even though I don't mind predicting Top 20. ;) Edited June 21, 200916 yr by FunMaker11
June 21, 200916 yr Author Don’t you reset the leader board soon now we're half way through the year? Perhaps keep the top20 bonus rounds for the first half of the year and do something else in the fall to mix it up? Yes, the last round (round 25) is coming up next and after that the leaderboard will be reseted, That's why I'm asking about the bonus round. I would like to keep it but I guess there will be changes. In fact to prepare the results of the bonus rounds (because of the top 20) it's always more work. I'm thinking of doing more bonus questions, or increase the points for the bonus questions (or something else that I have in my mind :kink:)
June 21, 200916 yr Speaking of resetting the leaderboard, will there be a one week break before the next half? :kink:

June 21, 200916 yr I like the top 20 prediction, even though historically I've not done too well in them. They add a bit of variety and its interesting to see. Perhaps the frequency could be changed - another poster has suggested every 8 weeks and that may be better.
June 21, 200916 yr Maybe we could predict the whole top 75. :kink: :rofl: That will be one hell of a great round. :P
June 21, 200916 yr Author Yeh changed my mind, aren't bonus rounds meant to be fun? Actually the whole game is for fun :D
June 21, 200916 yr mmmm... that's overkill Nah, predicting the top 100 would be overkill :P Top 75 .... just fine ;) :rofl:
June 21, 200916 yr I guess I should not be complaining about the form of the game, because I'm top of the scoreboard with a skipped round. Anyway, here's what I think... I like the idea of having bonus rounds but predicting the whole top 20 is definitely very hard. Maybe a bonus round in some other form would be better. However, I think increasing the bonus questions or the points they give is even worse idea. Answering those questions is mainly based on pure luck rather than predictions skills IMO. I think the 'weigth' they have now in the overall score is just right :) But afterall Ben, it's your game so you can do whatever you wish with it :P Edited June 21, 200916 yr by NoiseAddict

The bonus questions based on e.g. the song that is #40 that week; or predict the number of new entries; are very much down to luck and not based on much skill/judgement at all. Would prefer more weight given to the positional predictions than those type of bonus questions (although the bonus questions where it is "predict the highest climber/faller is more down to skill/judgement than others).
